Don't feel bad Phil, I just put together this really cool an witty email to Earl and when I went to "submit" it, I got an error and all my witi-ness vanished. *sigh*
I try to make it a habit to COPY my post to the clipboard before I send it - just in case things screw up!!!!!
hehe, never thought of that! ......scroll down to the bottom of my profile, it's headed, "MY KINDA PEOPLE"
I found it Phil - Thanks - I put this together, wonder if we can expand on it???
Hello:
Will try this again, puting HTML in an HTML page don't work:
We are sorry we have denied youre Friends Request", it may have been for one or more of the following reasons below:
1. You had no profile information filled out, that is first and foremost.
2, You had very little profile information filled out to give us an idea of who you really are.
3. Your profile was Sexually Explicit, and not someone we want to meet.
4. Your profile was filled out but your pictures are not what we deem suitable to a Naturist environment.
5. All of the above.

You just beat me to it, I just finnished deleting the code, :)
How about:
If you bothered to read my profile properly, you would know why!
Here's how to avoid that happening again:
If you copy from the net, a document or write a piece on Outlook Express, (same probably goes for Word and other programmes) Spellcheck it, and then paste it onto Notepad. ........THEN, Copy it AGAIN from there, and you LOOSE all the HTML code, so that when you paste it onto the forum, it comes out all right :)
I'm not sure I can be bothered to tell them why.
I find the problem with having a strict criteria is, that when I do find someone I like the look of, I can't ask them to be a friend because of their profile or lack of it :(
Oh, and the copying on to notepad thing only works, IF you remember to do it! hehe :)
THEN, Copy it AGAIN from there, and you LOOSE all the HTML code, so that when you paste it onto the forum, it comes out all right :)
You're right, I should have remembered that from my old HTML days "Note Pad"
Like you JR, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and will generally accept any friendship request that comes my way. However, I've found that some people do judge you on the friends you keep and have since limited that practice. lol...Though not too much. I don't have any set criteria, like a filled out profile. I know from personal experience, filling the damn things out is a pain in the ass, so I don't want to limit a friend just because they are as lazy as I am. Same thing with pictures, I generally don't accept friends without pics, but what if they don't have a cam? Then there are the certified users, that does go a long way with me. I know someone mentioned that it's just a pen and paper, but it's so much more to me. I don't care if they are a real nudist or not, but I do care if they are a real person or not and being certified does prove you are a real person to me. That said, I do know there are many real people who are not certified and I don't want to deny them either. lol...Confused yet? Basically it all comes down to your gut instinct and that's what I follow.
Obviously my gut instinct isn't always correct, otherwise I'd be a millionaire with a beautiful faithful trophy wife. lol...So, what do I do when I'm wrong. Well, every now and again (and I'm due for this now) I send an email to all the people on my friends list that I do not or have not spoken with either via email or chat. Basically, I tell them that I'm glad they are on my friends list and would like to get to know them better. I don't threaten that I'm going to delete them, because I'm not big on threats. lol...I then give them a week, if I get no response, I drop them and don't look back. The way I see it, I've given them the chance and don't feel bad about it. That too is kind of a pain in the ass and I was thinking of maybe doing a bulletin saying I'm cleaning up my friends list and those of you who I haven't spoken too will be deleted if I don't get a response in a week. lol...but that just seems kind of mean to me, so I'm not sure if I'm going to do that.
Anyways, hope that helps in some small way. :)
I don't mean to be a wet towel, but it seems to me, more and more of the people asking to be friends:
A) don't have a completed profile or send me a message, which is what it says to do on my profile
B) have far too many crotch shots as either their profile pic or in their pics
C) just don't seem very interested in nudism but seem very interested in couples and females.
I think I am taking the stance that "I need a message, or some interaction on a forum or something to determine why I should be freinds with these people." I also still have a whole 'nother level of things going on. I have already met with one couple on here, my father is on here, and I am meeting with another couple that is on here - this weekend. I have high hopes to meet with others on here. I would love to have some way to signify that we are not just friends in a list on a web site, but that we have actually met and hung out together. It's one thing to see a profile, its a totally different thing to meet someone in the flesh.
Thanks
Jerry
